Comedy at The Bull
WE ARE BACK WITH A BANG!
After taking a short hiatus this Summer Comedy At The Bull returns with an incredible headliner for you on Sunday 22nd September. Join us for this one-off Sunday show (we will return to Wednesdays in October) as we host 4 fantastic comedians! Tickets just £12, this one will sell out so move quick! Full lineup below:
HEADLINER
MICHELLE DE SWARTE
A genuine star of the comedy circuit and an unstoppable comedic force, Michelle has gone from strength to strength on the UK circuit. Her effortless charisma and unique comedic voice have seen her explode on social media in the past year and she's even written and starred in her own BBC comedy drama 'Spent'. She has also featured on the likes of Live At The Apollo, The Last Leg and starred as the lead in HBO's 'The Baby'. Catch her now before she's selling out arenas.
FINLAY CHRISTIE
Wonderboy of the London circuit. At the age of just 19 Finlay won the prestigous 'So You Think You're Funny' award and since then has consistently proven that he is one of comedy's hottest prospects. His self-aware style coupled with his cutting pessimism is a recipe for comedy gold. He has appeared on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Comedy Central Live and The Standup Sketch Show.
AHMED IBRAHIM
Brilliantly disarming and difficult to dislike, Ahmed has an inquisitive style that cobbles together his hilariously skewed worldview and audiences love to join along for the ride. No matter the lineup Ahmed is guaranteed to inject the necessary levels of silliness into the evening.
ROB MORIARTY
Born in Ireland and making his bones on the Berlin comedy scene Rob has a devious and warped sense of humour that catches his audiences off guard in the best way possible. A brilliant writer, with a touch of deadpan delivery who cleverly tiptoes across the line, leaving his audiences in stitches.
Doors will be at 6:30pm for a 7pm start
Wanstead Fringe 2024
Click here for Fringe Events & Updates
Wanstead Fringe is an unincorporated association of volunteers whose aim is to support and encourage cultural activities in Wanstead. They are a not-for-profit – all proceeds go back into running future Fringes.
Where do events take place?
Fringe events take place in local Wanstead venues: cafes, restaurants, community halls, churches, parks and any other space which can conceivably hold a performance or event.
The Bull will again be getting involved with supporting The Fringe providing a space for theatre and live music.
What does the Wanstead Fringe do?
The Fringe brings together and co-ordinates performers, venue owners and volunteer organisers and helpers. The Fringe directly organises one or two events e.g. the open air Kinema, but mainly depends on all sorts of people running their own cultural events (talks, music, demonstrations, food, art etc). Organisers are free to sell tickets for their event if they need to – the Fringe itself doesn’t take a cut.
